Rice Lake, WI Area Ice Spots

I graduated from college and took a job in the Rice Lake, WI area in May. I have lived in SE South Dakota my whole life and know very little if anything about places to fish here in NW Wisconsin. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of places to fish for mainly panfish, but I would also like to try for some walleye and pike as well.

Thanks

man go to bone for nice perch, and big round for crappie and wallys.

Tons of good lakes up your way. Try “Rice Lake” for starters. I know from fishing there in the summer that there are decent crappies. Maybe get a sportsman connection map book so you can get a little general info about some of the lakes close to you.

The Chetek Chain is producing some really nice gills. Just finished filleting up a dozen and had several between 8-9″. Caught some decent crappies today also – 9-10″ which is pretty decent for the chain. Good luck to you and welcome to the area!

There might be some crappies out in the deep holes in bone too

Thanks all for the information. With these lakes tending to be pretty large, are there any particular areas on them that are better than others??

Hello son and welcome to IDO. Find us a good spot to fish before I get there on Thursday or at least a spot.
